An observational study in Liberation From Mechanical Ventilation in ICU Patients, sponsored by Sohag University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-06-26.

Liberation from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) remains a challenge for intensive care physicians. Although standard indices such as blood gases and respiratory clinical data are used routinely but they still have some limitations. Diaphragmatic and lung sonographic parameters (pulmonary scores) recently became the hot spot to help in anticipation of liberation from IMV.The aim of this study was to ensure that, sonographic diaphragmatic thickening indices and lung scores are reliable and accurate additional tools to anticipate successful liberation from IMV in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Methods: This study was a prospective, observational study conducted at Sohag university hospital on 80 patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and mechanically ventilated invasively for more than 24 hours and they were ready for weaning by standard methods. At the time of spontaneous breathing trials (SBT), we did diaphragm and lung ultrasound, where we applied diaphragmatic thickening indices (DTI) and a modified lung ultrasound scores (LUSm). Patients classified into two groups; failed group (FG) and (SG) of liberation from IMV. Comparison between (FG) and (SG) in relation to pulmonary scores (DTI and LUSm) were recorded. Cut-off values, sensitivity and specificity for DTI and LUSm were obtained. Also, comparison between (FG) and (SG) in relation to demographic, clinical and respiratory data were assessed and all data were statistically analysed.

Exclusion Criteria:
Group of patients who succeeded weaning from mechanical ventilation
Other: Sonographic evaluation of diaphragm and lung
Group of patients who failed weaning from mechanical ventilation
Other: Sonographic evaluation of diaphragm and lung
While the patient in a semi-sitting position (20-40 degree), by ultrasound, the diaphragm thickness was measured in the zone of apposition, on the mid-axillary line among the 8th and 10th intercostal spaces, using a 7-10 MHz linear probe in (M) mode. at the end of expiration and at the end of inspiration by capturing nearly three images during spontaneous patient breathing. The average of three DTI measurements was calculated In lung ultrasound, 2-4 MHz convex ultrasound probe in (B) mode was employed. We implemented a modified LUSm in our investigation, which assessed four lung regions on each side.
a cut off values for DTI and LUSm with sensitivity and specificity for anticipation of liberation from invasive mechanical ventilation
we reporte a cut-off value for DTI and LUSm below or above which the risk for failure of weaning can be predicted with a sensitivity persent and a specificity persent.
Time frame: One year
The correlations of DTI and LUSm with demographic, clinical and respiratory data
We recorded the relations of DTI and LUSm with demographic, clinical and respiratory data in prediction of succeeded liberation from IMV
Time frame: one year
Plan to share: Yes
